NON-FICTION: Bread of Angels, by Patti Smith
Details
For our June pick, I've chosen Bread of Angels, by Patti Smith. I'll admit that I'm sort of cheating here because I haven't read her previous books (Just Kids and M Train). But this one came highly recommended, so I'm excited to dive in headfirst.

"But surprises don’t feel crucial to a work that builds its world as much through narrative voice as its description of events. That voice can take some getting used to. Oddly formal, even archaic, in tone, at times unrestrained if not undisciplined, Smith’s literary mind is a wild mare. It can occasionally feel repetitive or self‑indulgent. But once you settle in, it casts a potent spell, and you’ll learn as much about the artist from her style as from the stories themselves." - The Guardian
